Active Bystander Training Workshop

Understanding what to do if you witness prejudice, harassment, or violence

 What is it?

• 
  An “active bystander” describes somebody taking positive action to prevent or reduce harm to
  others when they encounter prejudice, discrimination, harassment, or identity-based violence.
  Being an active bystander is everyone’s responsibility – whether in moments of acute danger
  or in the actions we take to tackle long-term injustice.
• This interactive IS led by identity-based violence
  prevention charity, Protection Approaches and has been developed in partnership with the
  Britain`s East and Southeast Asian Network (besea.n). The expert-led sessions see
  participants guided through a series of discussions to explore how they can play a role in
  tackling identity-based harms in their community, school, or place of work.

 Content includes:

 What it means to be an active bystander: through group discussion the participants

• explore what being an active bystander means to them
• Standing up for those being targeted: working through a series of scenarios,
  participants consider and learn what they can do when they encounter prejudice,
  harassment or identity-based violence such as a racist attack in a supermarket or an
  inappropriate comment from a colleague
• Proactive prevention: returning to the scenarios participants reflect on the root causes
  of prejudice and discrimination before discussing ways they could contribute to
  dismantling of those root causes and to building safer, more inclusive and just
  communities.
